Jeah, that didn't came up in my mind when I was making 'em. But I think I'm
gonna make that "smalling" in some day around. I also have a lot of other
things to do, so it may be, that I don't have time so soon.

Well, I have few years experience about making computer ansi's in BBS's. And
there was almost natural that someone used "�" char in her asciis. When
Windows & internet grew up, everybody didn't liked it. There are many
reasons, but one is that Windows does not support all "traditional"
characters that (we) used to use. One big disappoinment was, that in Windows
you can't make all wonderfully ansi's :) (well, there are few fonts that
supports ansi's, but I think that atleast MS Sans Serif or Arial should
support 'em too)

That's one thing... but Windows is pretty good for making large ascii's. As
you see. I enjoyed that a lot, so "few" asciis grew'd up very(?) large ones
:) But I think that when The Big (TM) monitors come to our life, that isn't
problem anymore.

PS. Thanks for all mail you sent :) I appreciate them.
